Love the game and a fan of BioWare but these TINY $5 downloads suck! Cant wait for the expansion but the isignificant downloads are a waste of money and time. I would rather pay for a good expasion any time instead of these quick and worthless downloads.
BioWare please stop with the worthless downloads!

I sort of like the cheap-and-short DLCs. Gives you a little treat at the end of a day, and you feel less guilty about the money when it's basically one skipped burrito.

The money adds up quick - whats an expansion $25 or so. A bunch of these and you could pay for a new game. Its not just the money either - i never feel satified ony any of the stuff so far. I have no problem paying for a FULL expansin - i just dont want to be nicke and dimed to death.

Fortunately you possess free will and can choose to not purchase them. Just because YOU don't like something doesn't mean someone else can't. The game universe almost begs for these small extra quests.

WTB!
And just so I can hone in on your central thesis: because you don't like downloadable content, Bioware is suppose to deprive the rest of us?
RUUUUDE!

If you DON'T like paying 5 bucks for 20 minutes of content, then DON'T. If you feel you MUST, then I have a $20 internet to sell you.

Tell you what. As soon as people stop wanting additional content, who are willing to pay for it, we'll stop making it.pastypus wrote...

Lucky for you, we can do both. There's an expansion coming next month, so if you'd prefer to save your money you can wait for that instead.

While I enjoy the little downloads, "just don't buy it then" doesn't really apply here. Producing DLC in small packets does mean taking limited work-hours away from fuller expansions.
I still like the pleasure of having a little bit of extra game more frequently.

Offer several minor downloads for 5$ each - scandalous.
Put them all together in a pack an sell it retail as an expansion - brilliant.
o.O
As stated bei Bioware-Officals in other threads earlier, gameplay-fun is not determined by lenght. You don't want it? - Don't buy it. Simples as it is. I will, if that's what I'm supposed to do to ensure there will be several more content for the greatest game in the last 10 years.
Up to now, didn't regret any DLC I bought. Keep them comin' BW.

I was going to not buy RtO, but then David Gaider showed up in my toilet while I was puking after drinking too much and told me if I did not buy RtO, my testicles would shrivel in and fall off like rotten fruit.
Bought every piece of content since. $$

$5 spent on RTO lasted longer than $5 spent at Starbucks. And my Frappucino is DEFINITELY not replayable...

We want something, you make it. Until someone on a forum doesn't approve.

There are many who enjoy being able to play smaller DLC while we're witing for larger expansions. What a good thing that there's such an easy solution! Don't buy them.

Mordaedil's post above suggests otherwise
. Though I don't think the second time will be so much fun

What I told you to buy was some Sani-Flush and a good scrubber. Geez.

It's funny how we keep completely different scores on what's fair value for our money. For the cost of a beer or a donut and coffee, you get RTO. It's hard to argue that this isn't fair value.
I think some people have a psychological problem with this because full games offer so much better value for money. Of course, games are one of the most cost-efficient forms of entertainment there is.

I remember when stuff like this would be free or included into the huge expansion packs for games.

I can't think of anything I can buy for 5 bucks that lasts 20 minutes...so 20 minutes of entertainment for 5 bucks isn't bad. Now once I buy 3 or 4 it becomes a waste because for the same amount of money I could have gone to a movie, but then I guess I can't see the same movie with the same snacks without paying again so the DLC still wins.
